Total noob here:  I have a new rig just built and i'm trying to decide which OS to boot onto it. 

Given i have no OS right now, does nvOC also serve as the OS?  Or do i have to DL ubunto first?

I'm asking because i went ahead and imaged nvOC anyways, booted it onto the rig, saw a lot of critical core errors, saw the ubunto loading screen and now its asking for m1-desktop-login. 

The image already has ubuntu 14.04 desktop on it.  Before you use it you need to edit the 'OneBash' file your nvOC flash drive will place onto a small windows partition.  Once that config file has been changed to point towards your address and to change OC/etc settings you don't need to touch anything when it boots - any prompts for passwords will be filled in automatically by the script, so don't interrupt it.  Mine goes from cold boot to mining in ~2.5 minutes.
